200th anniversary celebration

THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMPLETION OF ST. PATRICK’S OLD CATHEDRAL

In November of 1815, The Most Reverend John Connolly, the first resident Bishop of the Diocese of New York, arrived from Europe to preside over the newly completed cathedral on Mott Street. Now two hundred years later, Timothy Cardinal Dolan will officiate at the blessing of a newly restored Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, the Archbishop John J. Hughes Memorial, Catacombs, Bell Tower, and new Altagracia Chapel.
